Show poorly designed

Warning: Spoilers
I was going write a trivia item but decided easier to do as a review. I feel like it was a bit misleading that the show prior to the final two minutes failed to state that back in 1982 the British govt warned divers that there were munitions in the wreck. In fact, because even the British warned divers of munitions at the wreck, when detailing all the possible dangers of investigating the wreck this one was conveniently left out. In 2008 it was publicly admitted that there were high munitions in the wreck subsequent to live shells actually being found. The British kept the secret thru all governments going back to the original 1915 sinking and even used depth charges to try and destroy the wreck, believed to have been done in the 1950s, which was found out by unexploded depth charges being found at the wreck. Whether munitions caused the second explosion is unknown, but waiting until the last two minutes to say munitions were part of the cargo seems to be an attempt to keep suspense versus when describing the venture it could have been simply stated.
